"iPad Roundup"

This post was written by Evan Schaeffer: "Confession: Although I know plenty about lawyers and their shiny new gadgets, I don't have an iPad myself. When I tried one out at Best Buy, it just seemed too heavy and hard to handle, especially when I'm used to reading from my iPhone for hours at a time. I'll probably change my mind eventually (and this cover with a handstrap might mean sooner rather than later). For now, though, no.

Meanwhile, there's been lots of discussion about the ways lawyers can use iPads. Here are a few sources for your consideration:

• Post: "Is the Apple iPad the Tipping Point? Practicing Law in the Cloud Goes Mainstream in 2010," at Reid My Blog!
• Post: "The 3 stages of iPad infatuation OR How to justify buying an iPad to your business manager," at Stasiuk Firm PC
• Blog: Legal iPad: the iPad Blog for Lawyers & Business Professionals
• Blog: Tablet Legal

In addition, Jeff Richardson at iPhone J.D. has added iPad coverage to his blog."
